At the risk of looking like a blog freak I created some Haiku (definition to follow) tonight and had no better place to put them than here, so here it shall go.Well a Haiku, for those who don't know, is a typical Japanese verse written about nature with a particular meter to it. The American Haiku has somewhat bastardized this, which is what us Americans are good at, and created the Haiku that doesn't necessarily have to be about nature, is written in a similar meter (three lines of 5, 7, 5 syllables respectively), and it is written as 3 distinct, parallel lines instead of straight across like the traditional version. Well, I couldn't remember any of the old poems I had created so I came up with one on the spot:
"My world stands still now
There is flight beneath my wings
Life waits on a breath"
I like simple and to me Haiku say so much using so few words.
"The leaves twirl slowly
From the boughs, a graceful fall
To death they descend"
"Fighting for my soul
Locked in the highest tower
Surrender to win"
"The trill of laughter
Modesty's blush of color
all love in pure form"
"Forsaken my thoughts
Turned away from all logic
Hope is all I have"
"Your breath moves the wind
The sun warmed from your smile
Your hands mold my world"
"A giggle is sweet
give me a smile my dear
and have your reward"
"Where the light can see
So my body will reveal
a hunger for you"
"You run so smoothly
immerse me within your depths
cooling to my skin"
